ALB and fibrosis: The age, Charlson Comorbidity Index, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level, and KL-6 level were significantly higher and the albumin level and the saturation of the peripheral oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2/FiO2) ratio were significantly lower in the fibrosis than in the non-fibrosis group; the need for initial oxygen support was also greater in the fibrosis group.
